GOV. Beavers Six Months Record.

GOVERNOR BEAVER and The Repub-
lican Legislature, accepting tha state
ment OF Auditor General NORRIS, also
of the ruling party, have made an inter
esiing mess of Governmental affairs at
the State Capitol, since the keen super
visiUn, courage and capacity of Govern
or PATTISOS, has been withdrawn. The
Auditor General estimates the loss of
revenues by Legislation, Judicial decis-
ions, etc, at 81, POI 600. That is for
this fiscal year ending November 80.
The Auditor General also estimates
the increased expenditures for the same
period at S1S5, 600. Or taking them
both, a loss in revenue and increase in
expenditures il one year aggregating
-. .O16, 900.
To this may De added an annual loss
to the States revenues OF 81 ,000. 900,
and 81 900, 600 which was TO have been
divided among the counties. by the
stTangiIng OF the revenue bill. Either
considered as a blundeT or a bit of lob
by-Offic;al Tascality, this has been a cost
ly performance. But this is to be said
IL relieves corporations from tax which
the State Will continue TO collect from
citizens.
Here We have a total loss in one year

The administration of Governor Bea-
Yer makes brilliant start. At Stan

law demanded by the oil producers. At
railroad GlctatiOu il defeated the law to
enforce the railroad article of the CON
stitutiOn, 10 which the Republican party
pledged itself in State convention. By
crooked and hidden processes, and in the
interest of the corporation aid monopoly
power, 1t killed the revenue bill. There
was bribery and corruption no doubt in
that but Governor Beaver was wise in
not Teassembling the legislature to re-
pair the wrong, for public opinion
would have demanded ar investigation
which would have been iAconvenient
and possibly disastrous to some of the
Republican bosses possibly 10 himself

next three years and half as he and
his party have commenced, there will be

JOINT resolution providing for their ap-

meeting in January ISS9. When the
resolution was adopted by the two
houses the general Revenue bill which
George Handy Smith, President of the
SeEate, in some mysterious way forgot

Of the absence of Smith : signature to the
bill the Governor refused To approve il,
as he was bound 10 do. Nor would he
agree to call an extra session TO repass
tue bill which could have been done in
ten days at trifliug expense, although
public sentiment throughout the State
was almost unanimous IN its demand
upon him To do 50. Beavers refusal To
call an extra session, for the purpose in
dicated, which would have enabled the
safe and each county in it to reap the
benefit of the new bill Eext year instead
of waiting until 1890, called forth the
straupest ty",:ug or discomfort from his

ing effect IN November upon the State

what Cooper now says he will do late in

McGlynn's action, whatever may be his
prOtestations TO the contrary, is that he
separates himself from his church. We
do not doubt his honesty. Doubtless he
believes himsel. suffering for righteous
ness sake, But he has embraced views
which are abhorreEt 10 the vast najori-
